Description: Pileus
10-16 mm diam., carpophores distinctly concave or subumbilicate even when young,
dark brown or soot-brown, densely covered by concolorous or grey-brown velvety
fibrils or small scales, neither striate nor hygrophanous, dry. Lamellae (L
6-10, 1 7) broadly adnate or subdecurrent, distant, dark grey-brown without
any pink tinge, gill edge concolorous. Stipe 15-20 x 1-1.5 mm, cylindrical or
attenuated towards the base, concolorous with pileus, with white hyphal weft
at base, longitudinally fibrillose, dry, fistulose. Context brown. Taste and
odour not distinctive. Chem. reactions: KOH and HCl on pileus -negative.
Spores
6.5-7.5 x 6-7 µm, subglobose, 5-7-sided. Basidia 30-35 x 7-9 µm, 4-spored. Cheilo-
and pleurocystidia none. Cuticle a cutis consisting of repent or suberect, fasciculate
cylindrical hyphae (6-12 µm diam.), membrane thinwalled and not gelatinized,
encrusted with brown pigment. Clamp connections present.
Habitat: Among
mosses on soil (margin of Nothofagus cliffortioides-forests). New Zealand.
Notes: In
the field E. crinitum would hardly be recognized as an Entoloma
but its microscopical characters clearly indicate that genus. The deep grey-brown
colour of pileus and lamellae at first suggest rather a species of Rhodocybe
Maire.
